I'll have a look at the LG soon, when I go over to the outlaws, and update you. I'm led to believe (by a few folk on AVForums) that it does have one digital input. So, even if you need more than one, you can get a switch, but these are under tenner.
I think there are different versions of that LG unit about though. As with other LG products, there's some that are made as exclusive/SMU for their big customers. I think that particular one is a "DSG special"
Indeed. I do think it'll be far superior to the LG, I just mentioned the LG as I hadn't been aware of it previously, and it's a cheaper alternative. As I said earlier though, there's updated ones out there, though not yet fully available. They have HD audio support, though I'd bet they're more expensive.Love the look of the Sony and after looking at the spec sheet, there are tons of inputs (2x HDMI in, 2 optical, coax, phono etc) so it has flexibility, but you pay for that...
AVForums "all in one" section is always good for this sort of stuff
